The "middle class" can be helped in many ways that produce worthwhile benefits Never suggested otherwise. My issue is with middle class entitlements. That's what I've been posting about half the day rather than what I should have been doing. Do like many European countries have done and implement capital item take back laws (IE. "you make it, you own it"). This would force companies to take back the stuff they manufacture after its useful life. This must be combined with laws that place a very heavy tax on waste disposal. You're kidding, right? And I thought it was a hassle to separate my trash into paper, plastic, and glass. And imagine the gas costs returning milk cartons to the farm and hair dryers to China... <g> And this helps the middle class how?
